In looking over all the best PS5 games released, there's no shortage of great single and multiplayer experiences to enjoy. Thanks to a built-in friends list, chatting and joining parties with friends has never been easier, especially now that you can use Discord on PS5. On the other hand, sometimes you just want to play solo without anyone bothering you with messages or invites. Or, you may be playing a guilty pleasure and would rather no one else know what you're up to. Whatever the reason, the solution is to appear offline on PS5 so you can play in peace.

The best PS3 games of all time

PlayStation 3.

The PlayStation 3 had a rough start. The price was high, and there weren't all that many great games compared to the best Xbox 360 games. However, Sony stuck with it and eventually managed to turn things around, leading to one of the most important generations in terms of new IP. Since that time, video game graphics and gameplay have only gotten more realistic with the best PS4 games and even better with the best PS5 games.

Despite all the advancements and new consoles, you may sometimes be in the mood to revisit some of your favorite games that you played as a kid or teenager. Sifting through all the old PS3 games can feel overwhelming, but if you’re trying to figure out which games are still worth your time, we’ve compiled a list of recommendations. We've also gathered a list of the best PS1 games and best PS2 games for the sake of nostalgia.

PlayStation is testing adaptive controller charging in latest beta, but only for certain PS5s

The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

The latest PlayStation beta, announced Wednesday, will be introducing a bunch of in-progress features that better personalize your PlayStation 5 experience, including adaptive charging support for controllers — but only for the latest models.

Sony laid out the beta updates in a blog, but noted that adaptive charging, which will work on PS5-era controllers (although not the PlayStation Portal) and can adjust the power sent to them based on battery level, will only be available for the newest PS5 model, which is slimmer and has a larger internal SSD for more storage. Many newer phones have this feature so that the battery doesn't get overcharged and fried over time.
